What are the differences between captive hamsters?

Captive hamsters differ primarily in species, such as Syrian, Dwarf Campbell's, and Roborovski, each with unique behaviors, sizes, and care requirements. Additionally, their colors and fur types can vary widely due to selective breeding, influencing their appearance. Their temperaments may also differ; for example, Syrian hamsters are generally solitary and more docile, while dwarf species can be social but may show territoriality. Proper care, including habitat, diet, and socialization, is essential for each type to thrive in captivity.
